A Letter From the Alzheimer’s Association

I received this letter from the Alzheimer’s Association. They encouraged me to send it on to my friends and family and I thought posting it on the blog would reach more people:
Dear Friend,

According to our recently released 2008 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, 10 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer’s disease in their lifetime.

Kindred Healthcare a generous corporate partner of the Alzheimer’s Association is responding to this shocking statistic by offering an exceptional matching gift challenge opportunity for good friends such as you.

Simply put, Kindred Healthcare will match all gifts sent to the Alzheimer’s Association by June 30, up to $250,000!

Please don’t miss out on this opportunity to fund twice as much Alzheimer research, care, advocacy and awareness. Your generosity is key if we’re to defeat this devastating disease. Thank you again for your support.

Sincerely,
Angela Geiger
Vice President

P.S. Please don’t miss this opportunity to make an urgently needed gift that will go twice as far in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. Send your most generous contribution before our Matching Gift Challenge ends June 30, 2008. Thanks again!
